Explorer Program

The Ripon Police Department, in conjunction with The Boy Scouts of America, provides an opportunity for young men and women to experience, first hand, how a police department functions. Explorers are trained in various aspects of law enforcement and used to assist police personnel. The Explorers are required to volunteer 16 hours a month, along with three major functions in the City of Ripon; Almond Blossom Festival, Fourth of July, National Night Out, and Main Street Day.
Requirements:

14 to 21 years of age

Parental or guardian approval

Maintain “C” average while in school

Have no, negative contact with any police department

Have good moral habits
